Kaleidescape and Mercury Studios announced a collaboration to “bring the biggest names in music to the cinema.” Kaleidescape says it provides an alternative method to securely deliver library releases to the big screen. The Kaleidescape platform provides high-quality content enabling playback of content on demand.

“Mercury Studios is about bringing our exciting films to audiences who love music and want to see their favorite musicians up close and larger than life,” SVP Global Operations of Mercury Studios Rob Gill said. “Our catalog features documentaries and performances by incredible artists including Peter Gabriel, Ella Fitzgerald, INXS and Syd Barrett. This collaboration with Kaleidescape will bring audiences spectacular performances with the best sound and image quality.”

Kaleidescape is a solution that integrates into a movie complex, utilizing the same projectors and audio solutions already installed. Kaleidescape’s movie platform enables secure delivery of library releases, with lossless audio and reference quality video. With access to a library of content on demand, the company says exhibitors can program additional movie screenings or movie marathons and curate special events.

Exhibitors including Alamo Drafthouse, B&B Theatres, Brenden Theatres, Cinema West, Classic Cinemas, Epic Theatres, Megaplex Theatres and Star Cinema Grill are currently piloting the Kaleidescape platform.
